Depending on the circumstances, you may qualify for financial assistance from the victim compensation program. Compensation is available for medical, dental, mental health and other similar services. Documentation will be required for every expense that is submitted through the application process, and applying for compensation does not guarantee that your application will be approved.

Victims must meet certain eligibility requirements for compensation that include:

• the crime must have occurred within the city and county of Denver.
• the crime must have occurred within the last year.
• the crime must have been reported to police.
• the victim was not engaged in any criminal activity when the crime occurred.
• the crime must be one in which a person was injured rather than a property crime
• If you would like more information, please contact the Second Judicial District Victim Compensation Office during regular business hours at 720-913-9253 or email us at info@denverda.org

Note: There are some needs that cannot be addressed through the Victim Compensation Program. This includes replacement or repair of property, or reimbursement for cash that was lost. We also cannot assist with rent or relocation expenses.
